Leadership key for Arkansas Razorbacks coming away with more SEC wins
This is the third in a series of stories about Arkansas football and head coach Sam Pittman, who recently sat with writer Bob Stephens for a lengthy interview. Visit us daily this week to read a new article.
All good, but his team must be better when it matters most. The most agonizing part of the 2023 football season for the Hogs and their fans was losing five one-possession games. After starting with two nondescript wins, Arkansas lost six straight by a total of 36 points.• 38-31 at home to BYU after leading 31-21 early in the third quarter.
Pittman isn't into moral victories, but he's also a realist, meaning he knows when his team put forth its greatest effort and maybe even executed as well as hoped for, and still couldn't win. He knows the Hogs should've won the first and last games of that six-game stretch and could've escaped with a couple more, but was proud of his team for taking a trio of Top 12 teams to the final gun.
Hog fans might've felt differently had Arkansas held off BYU and topped Mississippi State, for a 6-6 record and a lower-level bowl appearance. Throw in an unlikely win away from home in that brutal six weeks and 7-5 would've been almost glorious. He also gladly brought in transfer quarterback Taylen Green from Boise State, a dual-threat dynamo. He's similar to departed three-year starter K.J. Jefferson except most believe Jefferson failed in the locker room and with his teammates.
